Are you feeling trapped in a relationship where love feels more like pain, inconsistency, and power struggles?

Have you ever found yourself questioning your own worth because of a loved one’s manipulative or abusive behavior?

In this episode, Dr. Nadine provides you with insight, validation, tools to help you reclaim control, and so much more.

✅ Trauma Bonds are based on an imbalance of power.

✅ The abuse of power is abuse

✅ Parents inherently have more power and resources than children so seduction is not necessary to trap them

✅ Eradicating the shame of staying in an abusive relationship for too long

✅ How substance abuse exacerbates an already abusive/narcissistic personality

✅ Codependency makes the victim think there is something wrong with them they need to fix, rather than looking at what an abuser needs to fix

✅ Redefining yourself after abuse

✅ Stopping the marital/divorce pain from destroying your children

Dr. Nadine Macaluso, known to her patients as Dr. Nae, is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort's character in "The Wolf of Wall Street." She survived a turbulent eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma.

Her journey of trauma and healing inspired her to return to school at age 39, where she earned her Master's in counseling and Ph.D. in somatic psychotherapy. She further specialized with a two-year postdoctoral training in the Neuro-affective Relational Model (NARM).

As a therapist, Dr. Macaluso combines her education and personal experiences to help others heal from trauma. Her practice focuses on assisting patients in connecting with their authentic selves, fostering confidence, resilience, and agency. Dr. Macaluso firmly believes in the potential for post-traumatic growth, instilling hope in her patients and guiding them to reach their potential in life and love.

Join me in a powerful conversation with Laura K. Connell as she talks about her experiences growing up in a dysfunctional and emotionally abusive family, where she was subjected to a narcissistic mother and an emotionally neglectful father. And how she battled with alcoholism while addressing the deep-seated trauma she endured. 

✅ How and why survivors turn to various addictions (alcohol, substance abuse, eating disorders, etc) to cope 

✅ Feelings of relief from our emotional pain addictions initially bring. 

✅ Ah-ha moments that awaken the need to change 

✅ What triggers help us turn our lives around 

✅ Both the growth and the grieving of toxic family dynamics are round/whole rather than linear 

✅ It’s Not Your Fault -realizing your parents are character-disordered 

✅ Going No Contact 

✅ Stay the course, life gets better after definitive boundaries have been set on our toxic family members 

Laura K. Connell is a trauma-informed author and coach who helps professional women discover the subconscious reasons they self-sabotage and how to finally have the fulfilling life they deserve and desire. She writes about the impact of dysfunctional family dynamics on her website, laurakconnell.com. 

Her guest articles have reached millions through personal development websites Life Hack, Pick the Brain, Dumb Little Man, Highly Sensitive Refuge, the anthology Chicken Soup for the Soul, and national newspapers The Globe and Mail and Toronto Star. 

She has helped thousands heal from dysfunctional family trauma through her popular online retreats. Her book It's Not Your Fault: The Subconscious Reasons We Self-Sabotage and How to Stop is available now at the Simon & Schuster website.
